Timeline
Cherry Vanilla was supposed to perform on the "European" tour (Holland + Paris) in March 1977. But as she was in hospital at that time The Police went without her, supporting Wayne County instead.
For the concert at the Roundhouse on 1977-04-17 the Cherry Vanilla band (incl. Sting and Stewart Copeland) supported The Stranglers and The Jam. The Police did not play here.
It's hard to prove that all those concerts that were advertised in UK music magazines really took place. Sometimes there are reviews, photos or eyewitnesses. Sometimes a band member can remember a gig or rule one out. But the list of concerts below is still a work in progress. Check out the individual pages to see the reasons for thinking a concert took place or was cancelled / rescheduled.
